For most of my phals I use a chunky bark mix. The "Better Gro" orchid bark mix is the one I like that you can find at many stores such as Lowes. I have used the "Miracle Gro" orchid bark mix in the past but it breaks down faster and you have to pick through it just to get the big pieces. There is a lot of waste with it. There is also a slow release fertilizer in it and I prefer to add my own instead. Some of the more expensive 'shipped to my home' types are a waste of money to me. One even seemed to have red dyed bark chips that caused some problems.
For most I use a plastic pot with tons of air holes, for others are in clay.
